I did it for my family friend. It took longer than expected to prepare, but with a house full of people who are hard to find ingredients. Everyone is really picky and my friend like the "American" cheese. I have in 10 ounces of cheddar cheese. He, his parents, his best friend and his little brother loved them all.
